import Outdated from "/snippets/cli/outdated.mdx";

Use `bun outdated` to check for outdated dependencies in your project. This command displays a table of dependencies that have newer versions available.

```sh terminal icon="terminal"
bun outdated
```

```txt
| Package                        | Current | Update    | Latest     |
| ------------------------------ | ------- | --------- | ---------- |
| @sinclair/typebox              | 0.34.15 | 0.34.16   | 0.34.16    |
| @types/bun (dev)               | 1.2.0   | 1.2.23    | 1.2.23     |
| eslint (dev)                   | 8.57.1  | 8.57.1    | 9.20.0     |

| prettier (dev)                 | 3.4.2   | 3.5.0     | 3.5.0      |
| tsup (dev)                     | 8.3.5   | 8.3.6     | 8.3.6      |
| typescript (dev)               | 5.7.2   | 5.7.3     | 5.7.3      |

```

## Version Information

The output table shows three version columns:

- **Current**: The version currently installed
- **Update**: The latest version that satisfies your package.json version range
- **Latest**: The latest version published to the registry

### Dependency Filters

`bun outdated` supports searching for outdated dependencies by package names and glob patterns.

To check if specific dependencies are outdated, pass the package names as positional arguments:

```sh terminal icon="terminal"
bun outdated eslint-plugin-security eslint-plugin-sonarjs
```

```txt
| Package                        | Current | Update | Latest    |
| ------------------------------ | ------- | ------ | --------- |
| eslint-plugin-security (dev)   | 2.1.1   | 2.1.1  | 3.0.1     |
| eslint-plugin-sonarjs (dev)    | 0.23.0  | 0.23.0 | 3.0.1     |

```

You can also pass glob patterns to check for outdated packages:

```sh terminal icon="terminal"
bun outdated eslint*
```

```txt
| Package                        | Current | Update | Latest     |
| ------------------------------ | ------- | ------ | ---------- |
| eslint (dev)                   | 8.57.1  | 8.57.1 | 9.20.0     |
| eslint-plugin-security (dev)   | 2.1.1   | 2.1.1  | 3.0.1      |
| eslint-plugin-sonarjs (dev)    | 0.23.0  | 0.23.0 | 3.0.1      |
```

For example, to check for outdated `@types/*` packages:

```sh terminal icon="terminal"
bun outdated '@types/*'
```

```txt
| Package            | Current | Update | Latest |
| ------------------ | ------- | ------ | ------ |
| @types/bun (dev)   | 1.2.0   | 1.2.23 | 1.2.23 |
```

Or to exclude all `@types/*` packages:

```sh terminal icon="terminal"
bun outdated '!@types/*'
```

```txt
| Package                        | Current | Update    | Latest     |
| ------------------------------ | ------- | --------- | ---------- |
| @sinclair/typebox              | 0.34.15 | 0.34.16   | 0.34.16    |
| eslint (dev)                   | 8.57.1  | 8.57.1    | 9.20.0     |
| eslint-plugin-security (dev)   | 2.1.1   | 2.1.1     | 3.0.1      |
| eslint-plugin-sonarjs (dev)    | 0.23.0  | 0.23.0    | 3.0.1      |
| expect-type (dev)              | 0.16.0  | 0.16.0    | 1.1.0      |
| prettier (dev)                 | 3.4.2   | 3.5.0     | 3.5.0      |
| tsup (dev)                     | 8.3.5   | 8.3.6     | 8.3.6      |
| typescript (dev)               | 5.7.2   | 5.7.3     | 5.7.3      |
```

### Workspace Filters

Use the `--filter` flag to check for outdated dependencies in a different workspace package:

```sh terminal icon="terminal"
bun outdated --filter='@monorepo/types'
```

```txt
| Package            | Current | Update | Latest |
| ------------------ | ------- | ------ | ------ |
| tsup (dev)         | 8.3.5   | 8.3.6  | 8.3.6  |
| typescript (dev)   | 5.7.2   | 5.7.3  | 5.7.3  |
```

You can pass multiple `--filter` flags to check multiple workspaces:

```sh terminal icon="terminal"
bun outdated --filter @monorepo/types --filter @monorepo/cli
```

```txt
| Package                        | Current | Update | Latest     |
| ------------------------------ | ------- | ------ | ---------- |
| eslint (dev)                 	 | 8.57.1  | 8.57.1 | 9.20.0     |
| eslint-plugin-security (dev)   | 2.1.1   | 2.1.1  | 3.0.1      |
| eslint-plugin-sonarjs (dev)    | 0.23.0  | 0.23.0 | 3.0.1      |
| expect-type (dev)              | 0.16.0  | 0.16.0 | 1.1.0      |
| tsup (dev)                     | 8.3.5   | 8.3.6  | 8.3.6      |
| typescript (dev)               | 5.7.2   | 5.7.3  | 5.7.3      |
```

You can also pass glob patterns to filter by workspace names:

```sh terminal icon="terminal"
bun outdated --filter='@monorepo/{types,cli}'
```

```txt
| Package                        | Current | Update | Latest     |
| ------------------------------ | ------- | ------ | ---------- |
| eslint (dev)                   | 8.57.1  | 8.57.1 | 9.20.0     |
| eslint-plugin-security (dev)   | 2.1.1   | 2.1.1  | 3.0.1      |
| eslint-plugin-sonarjs (dev)    | 0.23.0  | 0.23.0 | 3.0.1      |
| expect-type (dev)              | 0.16.0  | 0.16.0 | 1.1.0      |
| tsup (dev)                     | 8.3.5   | 8.3.6  | 8.3.6      |
| typescript (dev)               | 5.7.2   | 5.7.3  | 5.7.3      |
```
